Today I received a user report of a missing mounted volume on a server that had been upgraded from Gutsy to Hardy last week.
It appears that the following /etc/fstab stanza doesn't work any more: //hostname/share /mnt smbfs username=***,password=***,ip=hostname,ro 0 0 Instead it needs to be: //hostname/share /mnt smbfs username=***,password***=,ip=192.168.0.3,ro 0 0 In addition to this, it appears that smbfs does a fallback if the user authentication fails, but cifs does not. This means that if username=foo,password=bar fails, then smbfs tries again with username=guest,password= Is this documented anywhere and did I miss it? Is this a known "feature"? Will/Have others upgrading from EOL Gutsy to Hardy see(n) this same problem? Finally, should I change the stanza to: //hostname/share /mnt cifs username=***,password***=,ip=192.168.0.3,ro 0 0 -- Onno Benschop Connected via Bigpond NextG at S31°54'06" - E115°50'39" (Yokine, WA) -- ()/)/)() ..ASCII for Onno.. |>>? ..EBCDIC for Onno.. --- -. -. --- ..Morse for Onno..
